Downshifting yet again



Let's try this one more time...

Here's my attempt at describing the technique for double
(de)clutching...

Left Foot			Right Foot			Shifter		Time
										in gear

press clutch in		off gas		into neutral		|

let clutch out											|
										
						blip gas							|

press clutch in						select lower gear

let clutch out		resume gas							|
															V

The word "gas" was used instead of throttle to save space.  The passage
of time is approximate.  To heel and toe, add braking with the front of
the right foot as needed.

Anyone is welcome to add corrections/modifications to this.

HTH!
